TCoMMUNICATED.

Messrs. Editors Unfortunately, every
now and then, we meet with person at
tiicted with the impression that upon his
shoulders rests the entire responsibility of
reforming the world. Such seems to be
the disease that the morbid individual is
suffering with whose fanatical outburst on
the subject of fox-hunters appeared in the
Enterprise, Of the II instant. With ma
liclousness and utter disregard for truth pc
culiar to such diseased natures, he alleges
that fences have been destroyed, growing
crops ruined and farms "laid waste" and
to cap the climax, he is unable to sleep on
account of the merciless fox hunter. Well,
it is too bad After the prisons of this
modern Saint have been waited upward on
the wings Of Angels and he has been gently
wooed into the embrace of Morpheus, felic-
itating himself like the Pharisee, upon
the fact that he is different from other men,
| repeat that it is too bad that he should be
aroused by the horn of the vandal hunter
and "harried" for the remainder of the
night Fcllow-hunters, we can hesitate
no longer, the sport must be abandoned.
Messrs. Editors we admit that farmers
are sometimes inconvenience to some
slight extent by fox-hunters occasionally
pulling down fence, thardly destroying iD
but as 10 wheat fields being trampled up
and the wholesale destruction and devasta-
ton of property that the anonymous cores
pondent, above referred to, speaks of, it is
simply ridiculous and hardly deserves no.
tice. We have hunted on the lands of
many different persons, and this is the first
complaint that has been made. On the
contrary, many farmers who do not keep
hounds are much annoyed by foxes killing
their young pigs, lambs, poultry, etc and
on this account are glad to see the hunters
around. Among these can be mentioned
an honored Judge of the Orphans Court,
who said he would be glad to have them
come and stay week, he having lost as
many as II young pigs, to say nothing OF
chickens and turkeys, &c. The point
made as to our being trespassers in every
case, because we did not go TO each man on
whose lands we hunted and get his consent
in words is suggestive Of an embryonic lao
ger and to farmer seems untenable. There
is such a thing as implied consent and in
my section where friendly feeling exists
between neighbors, hunting with both dog
and gun is general and when any one
wishes to prevent it on his place, he posts
a "Trespass Notice" and that ends it.
In conclusion, will say that if we have
offended or injured any one by crossing
their place we are very sorry for it, and il
we learn Of anything of the kind, we will
he only too glad to apologize and make
proper reparation. FoX-HUNTER.

Druggists of Rome, Ga, say; We have
been selling DR.. Kings New Discovery,
Electric Bitters and Bucklen's Arnica Salve

edies that sell as well, or give such univer-
sal satisfaction. There have been some
wonderful cures effected by these medicines
in this city. Several cases of pronounced
Consumption have been entirely cured by

covery, taken in connection with Electric
Bitters. We guarantee them always.

POLITICS
1t is rather early to predict anything pc.
litically, but if the people of Maryland
think the Democracy of the North desires
the re election of President Cleveland, they
are vastly mistaken. Not only has he dis
gused the people with his administration
at Washington, but also at the public build
ings here In the case of Mr.. Magone,
President Cleveland no doubt exacted from
that gentleman that in the event of his ap-
pointment as Collector of this port he
should carry out the policy Of the admin
istration in the discharge of the duties of
his office, Certainly after adheIing so mi
nutely to the reforms of Civil Service, Mr..
Cleveland and his Mugwump allies of the
Senate, could do nothing better than con-
firm so valuable man. In the way of
promotions in the Custom House, the re-
cord stands at present, 10 Republicans to
3 Democrats; while, to my certain knowl-
edge, there are yet over 800 Blaine voters
retained there in responsible positions.
Still, we hope for better things. In the
distant horizon is star shining brighter
and brighter as the time goes by. 1t never
flickers but glows with steady light in
whose radiance we see the coming man.

BEECHER DEAD.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher received
a stroke of apoplexy followed by paralysis,
a day or two ago, and now the great Brook
Ign pastor of the Plymouth Congregational
| Church is dead. Mr. Beecher was known
the world over. AS preacher he stood in
the front ranks and for years it has almost
been impossible to obtain a scat in his
church, Thousands and thousands listened
to his wonderful oratory at every service,
and Notwithstanding the great scandal Of
some years ago in which he bore so promi-
nent part and successfully lived through,
his death will be universally regretted
throughout the Christian world

BALTIMORE, March II, 1887.
Asthe days 60 by, the statesmen Of our
beloved State become more and more in
tercsted MS to who will be the standard
bearers Of the two great parties for guber-
material honors. The followers Of JCtfer-
sonian simplicity, that is, the Democrats,
being so vastly in the majority, of course
their actions attract more attention than
the Republican hustlers, 20 To speak, No
one, as far as can learn, has been put for
ward by the Democrats as yet Sometimes

| mean that part of the State where the
president ola certain ditch was buried under
1900 majority last year for Congress-Dem-
ocrats suggests a candidate, but very sell
dom. Southern Maryland, 1t seems, has no
choice, but simply joins Western Maryland
as a whole to beat the Eastern Shore. But
who will be the choice Of our side Of the
Chesapeake remains, of course, TO be seen.
In some quarters our excellent postmaster,
Hon. Frank Brown, is mentioned in con
nection with the nomination for governor.
Mr.. Brown is a great man. He is, indeed,
philanthropist II was his shekels that
saved poor German two years ago. And,
no doubt, If nominated, he would receive
such majority that presidential bees would
be buzzng around him all next Winter.
This gentleman is from Carroll county, and
you know what kind Of Democratic major
tiles that country gives. Before | drop the
subject, there is another gentleman, who
stands very high@fhthe Democratic party,
one who possesses ability, influence and,
they say, riches. mean Hon. Barnes
Compton. This gentleman needs watching
by those who aspire for the Democratic
Gubernatorial nomination.
Not many months ago probably year
or more a gentleman from Hagerstown, the
home ofone Of our ex governors, was travel
ing through Southern Maryland. On his
return home he addressed letter 10 the

in the highest terms Of your section, stating,

Combs was received too late for any COM

sickness was generally known, the news of
her death was a shock to her many friends
